"The water I cupped / in my hands, drenching my sleeves, / has long been frozen"

Since I'm feeling the need for one, an index for my ongoing Kokinshu translations, updated as I post more.

Book Ia: Spring 1 (1-48)
Book Ib: Spring 1 (49-68)
Book IIa: Spring 2 (69-100)
Book IIb: Spring 2 (101-134)
Book III: Summer (135-168)
Book IVa: Autumn 1 (169-200)
Book IVb: Autumn 1 (201-248)
Book Va: Autumn 2 (249-280)
Book Vb: Autumn 2 (281-313)
[Book VI: Winter (313-342) ETA January]

(Note that these are drafts -- I've been making ongoing revisions to both translations and notes, especially the older installments, but haven't updated the posts, basically because it's too much work. I hope to find a solution for this at some point, but it may not be in this format.)
